NEW BEDFORD — Michelle L. Hodgson told a city police officer she was Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson’s daughter and said she would have the officer’s job as she was being arrested early Saturday outside a city bar where seven people were shot, according to court documents.

“Don’t you touch me,” Michelle Hodgson, 29, told an officer as he placed her arms behind her back and arrested her, according to a police report filed in New Bedford District Court.

“Do you know that my father’s the sheriff?” she continued yelling, court documents say.

Hodgson, of New Bedford, also asked the officer for his badge number, court documents say.

She was placed in the rear of a cruiser, booked at police headquarters on Rockdale Avenue and transported to the Ash Street Jail, according to court documents.

Hodgson pleaded not guilty to a charge of intimidation of a witness Tuesday in New Bedford District Court. She was released on personal recognizance and her case was continued until Oct. 29 for a pre-trial hearing.

Her attorney, Scott DeMello of Warwick, R.I., said Tuesday she will be cleared of any wrongdoing.

“Obviously, she didn’t do anything wrong that night,” he said. “When the facts come out, she will be completely exonerated and that police report doesn’t contain any facts that she intimidated any witnesses and she certainly didn’t have anything to do with the shooting that occurred earlier that night.”

Police were called to Jalice Cafe on Acushnet Avenue in the North End about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, following a shooting where seven young people were injured.

There was a large crowd in front of the night club “impeding” medics who were trying to attend to a gunshot victim, court records say.

Police ordered the crowd to disperse when a woman kicked a blood-soaked boot, belonging to a shooting victim, and the woman and her friend remained standing on the sidewalk, according to court documents.

The identity of the woman who kicked the blood-soaked boot is unclear in the police report.

The report states that the police officer ordered the woman who kicked the boot and her companion to leave and began to escort them away.

“I commented to them about being in a crime scene, and kicking over evidence. I was them (sic) informed ‘that should not be on a sidewalk ... that is where people walk! ” according to the report.

According to the court documents, as the officer began to escort the two women away, Michelle Hodgson “began to yell and (sic) me asking for my badge number, and telling me she would have my job!”

Page 2 of 2 - The officer wrote on his report that he was charging Hodgson with “interfering with a police officer” though the charge on file with the court is “intimidation of a witness.”

DeMello also said the police report is unclear as to who kicked the boot.

Police Chief David Provencher said Tuesday he will not comment on the specifics of the case, adding they will come out as the case moves along in the court.

“The facts will be heard and we’ll see where it takes us,” he said. “We will review all the circumstances and reports to determine what the facts are.”
